Hi Cathe!
Love, love, love your workouts since I saw you on FitTV and I've seen such great results!
I've been doing some searching on strength vs. endurance training and how you need to do both for maximum muscle gains and maximum fat loss. OK -- got that. There was this great post I found about slow/fast twitch muscles and how both strength & endurance training stimulate different parts of the muscles: http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?...ic_id=27977&mesg_id=27977&listing_type=search
From what I understand, strength training is doing low number of reps (4-6) at high intensity and endurance training is doing high number of reps (8-12) at low intensity. Either way, you pick a weight that you can do such that at the last rep, you can't possibly do one more.
My question is -- aren't then all your 'strength' workouts really endurance training workouts? I don't have all your DVD's, but I have quite a few - ME, Pyramid series, Muscle Max, etc. and all of exercises do at least 12 reps each.
Which of your workouts then are 'strength' and which ones then are 'endurance'?
Thanks! Tina
